There is no right to globalism in the constitution either: any and all of those behaviors can and should be regulated if it is in the best interest of the US citizens.
I don't care if the device checks it, it uses homomorphic encryption and differential privacy. This is turned on by default. This angers me.
True, in addition to things like diatoms making silicon structures, magnetotactic bacteria make iron containing metallic structures to detect magnetic fields. It is in principle possible to both recycle and manufacture metal and silicon objects biologically with precise control over 3D structure... but a lot further off from making carbon based small molecules and polymers.
Nothing is wrong. We moved to be closer to family which in retrospect was a great decision and one I'm still happy with. We don't have much of a social circle here outside of that, but we have kids < 2 so it's hard to get out too too much anyway.
Direction of the Waves
Yes, that's what happens.
"Sudden" with big enterprises is still a span of multiple years: probably iX-4 series CPUs hit the wall on performance, with power efficiency continuing improvements into 2017 with iX-8*U CPUs — so 2013 and 2017. And as soon as their first Tick-Tock blip hit, it was clear to everyone that they don't have a clear path forward.

In that sense, I fully expect the incumbent top fab to maintain the lead for a number of years even when a "sudden" competitor enters the market with clearer path forward.
In the USA, code generated by a computer cannot be copyrighted. So you can use it for commercial purposes, but you can't control it the way you could with code that you wrote yourself. And that's legally fine, but your company's legal department might not like that idea.
You should have said "any victim but Crimea" then.
Doing any work in a project worked on by multiple teams without C-P-style fuzzy file name matching is a recipe for frustration in any editor or IDE, regardless of the language. I've relied on this feature a lot when working in nvim+Python and nowadays in my vscode+typescript job it is one of my most heavily used shortcuts, too.
I find people who use it in a derogatory don’t do much actual thinking to start with.

The literal origin of its use in social justice realms was to put an emphasis and value on critical thinking.

By pondering the nature of society one can be “awoken” to the deeper sociological forces which shape individual lives.

I’ll freely admit the term has been perverted by a range of actors with motivations I disagree with.

But the original meaning and intent is valuable: all of us live in a world of hidden boundaries and power structures, but seeing that requires thought.

Many people don’t want to think for themselves, and they hate those that do.
Yeah the AI summaries are garbage still
You're definitely not alone. (I am glad you're writing this because I thought I was alone here as well)

I am currently applying to ~15 jobs a day starting late Sep till now mostly on Linkedin. I know it might not be the best time to look due to holidays. When wake up the next day finding 3-5 "decided not to move forward" So then I think theres something wrong with my resume? So I update it a little each day, its an unless cycle I have probability done this 50+ times now? Also seeing 100+ job applicants even after the job posting has been up for only a few hours.

Also approaching 2 decades of experience, also white American (they always ask on applying). I have a bachelors degree but its in Interactive Media taught myself everything else.

I am one month away to moving back home with my brother because I can only afford another one month rent on Credit Card until its maxed out.

Free time I just spend it learning learning learning, and an hour gym routine helps with stress. I try not to think about the situation that I am in or the job market.

All we can do is try our best everyday, theres only so much we can do and stressing out is the worst thing for the mind/body.
While I fully agree with your point, and I absolutely _despise_ what Russia is doing, it's pretty well agreed by this point that it was Ukraine that sabotaged Nord Stream.

There was a pretty detailed breakdown by a dutch newspaper that even identified the Ukrainian commandos that did it. And they even have an arrest warrant on the name of one of the suspects.

And let's be honest here, Ukraine benefits the most from that sabotage.

But from a realpolitik point of view, Russia must somehow be slapped for these sabotage acts.
Yes. Do you think more or less people would rent out homes if eviction were simply illegal? What about 1 year grace period? 30 days? None? Clearly there will be differences in the propensity to rent given the ease to undo mistakes or reclaim possession.
Unfortunately I cant make sense of what you wrote
Yes, that’s the main issue as ideally they wouldn’t be non-deterministic on well-established quantitative facts.
These are trains with sleeping cabins and actual beds you sleep in. It's better than many hostels.
Public job board listings have always been flooded with low-effort spam applicants, but AI tools have supercharged the problem.

The saddest part to me is watching the AI and social media malaise infect young mentees. I’ve been doing volunteer mentoring for years. Recent cohorts have been infected with a sense that the job market is nothing more than a game that they need to min-max. It’s sad to see smart, motivated young people get their opinions on the job market from cesspools like Reddit and TikTok, which teach them that trying is lame and the only way to retain your dignity is to withhold your effort from a job, lie your way through interviews, and “quiet quit” by testing the limits of how little you can. Reddit and TikTok swoop in to rationalize this behavior as the fault of companies and CEOs, not their own decisions.

The recent tech recession was a huge wake up call for a lot of these people. The vibe in some of our cohorts went from smug malaise to being very humbled when they got laid off due to their own low performance. It’s depressing for me and other mentors who have been trying to warn that workplace behavior has consequences for years, but the weird tech market of 2021 and 2022 led a lot of young people to think the worst thing that could happen to them was that they’d get fired and get a new job next week with a 20% raise.

The new version of this malaise is believing that AI will take their jobs anyway so the game is to use LLMs to bluff your way through applications, through interviews, and then use LLMs to coast as long as possible at their jobs until the next one.

The problem is so bad that one company withdrew from partnering in our internal job board, citing rampant LLM-generated applications and obvious LLM cheating in interviews. The other side of this is that anyone who makes any effort to be genuine and learn (rather than rely on LLMs for communication and coding) is automatically in the top 25% or so.

I don’t know how this ends. My sense is that the job market is continuing to bifurcate into jobs that people take seriously on one end and jobs where everyone just does performative LLM ping-pong as long as they can get away with it.
The perspective is understandable to me. It's easy to imagine rationally leaving a place vacant for longer if you're very picky about who you rent to. It's a timed binding commitment you make with your tenants, that puts you both on the same raft at least a little.

That said, you're saying that you could charge 1.5k more for the place, but don't because you value other qualities in a tenant more, right?

On mass, I'd bet dollars and donuts that what we'd find is people being evicted, or threatened with eviction, in order to raise rents. Situations like "property values have gone up 10% this year and I was too low to begin with. they've got 6 months left on their lease, but if I evict them I bet I have more cache to keep the deposit and I can ~fix my prices~. Business!"

Maybe your principles wouldn't have you do that, but people statistically make self interested decisions like that more often than compassionate ones.

Balance compassion for self and others oughta be the guide.
But different experts will probably be activated between every token. You will have to load data from disk to generate the next token. That's painfully slow.
Unfortunately, South Korean legal system is very lenient on financial crimes, and everybody suspects Kwon will get a slap on the wrist if he's sent to Korea.

The fact that Kwon himself was fighting to be extradited to Korea should tell you something.
Do you have a job where you rely on a single employer for most of your income? An employer that can fire you at any time? At least creators have more control over their income.
Is there any editor/IDE support for stack state visualisation?

A text display with an auto pretty printed view would serve people who like both code styles well.

A newline per stack reducing operation with the next line indented by stack depth would make it close to your style and could be quite automatic.
I agree about the difficulty, but am optimistic that if enough of us wanted to achieve this, we could train it as a distributed effort, with the coordination of a non-profit like the EFF. The question is whether we care enough.
FWIW blue jeans are about as western (literally!) as you get.
One way or the other, ~90% of the homeless people I see here in Calgary are bent over in the fentanyl flop or lighting crack pipes.

Some of them would need years of physical therapy to fix their limping, if that is even possible.
One problem with hiring juniors (from an employer perspective) is that they take a while to get trained up, then leave after 1-3 years, meaning that they require investment which never gets paid back. You can argue that the company should give them raises to keep them, but it goes against the zeitgeist (so it’s tough), and also means that there’s no advantage to hiring juniors.

This seems like a stable (though undesirable) equilibrium, and I do not have a solution.
Sleeper train can be a great experience. Unfortunately, this was not an option when I was young either due to pricing or due to availability. At least in Europe with the InterRail ticket.
Yes there are a lot of companies, and yes people and companies can lie. I'm not really sure how this negates what I said or my view on the matter. Globalization is the antithesis of the America First movement.
The signal/noise ratio is getting lower and lower.

News is leaning more and more into entertainment.

You did have all of this before, but 24h news channel with empty content are reaching new magnitude, fox news types of outlet are getting bolder and bolder, manufacturing facts is now automated and mass-produced, consequences for scandals are at an all time low, concentration of power at an all time high, etc.

It was bad.

It is getting worse.
I don't think healthcare alone is stopping people from going on their own. What could a developer do on their own? Start a startup? Extremely hard and risky. Freelancing? Requires marketing and lots of other stuff most of us suck at. And the freelancing market isn't that much better now either.
I've thought about the optics of talking about my own automatic job application system or including it on my resume, but I thought it'd be risky given the topic (like how listing your own startup is frowned upon, if I'm not mistaken?). Is it normally considered a bit risky or taboo?
Many companies officially endorse systematic racism under the banner of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). They isn’t just trying to exclude white males to hire more of the opposite traits. Many will have support groups for non-whites and non-males for their specific issues, special training that can lead to promotions which whites can’t have, and put out posters or videos displaying non-whites to show how much they care [if you’re not white].

I ran into this quite a few times when looking for AI companies. They often put it prominently in the About Us pages or their annual report. Some organizations were also giving grants or mentoring only to minority members.

That DEI makes hiring decisions partly based on race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. means it shouldn’t surprise you at all that someone mentions it as a hiring factor. If they hired X non-whites, then up to X whites may have been rejected depending on the makeup of the candidate pool. That’s just how systematic racism works. It should be abolished.
Useless?

Like the RTX2000 which landed on a comet kind of useless?

Or do you mean some other kind of useless. Maybe the controlling radio telescopes kind of useless. That must be it.
I’ve been hiring for teams for a few years now, and I’ve heard people lament these things like you are. In practice I’ve not seen any of these “smart” scanning techniques used, it’s a recruiter comparing resumes to a checklist I gave to them (5-ish years experience, maybe a degree role dependent, or something that you think is super relevant, one of c#/java/kotlin, hiring for a mid level role so we expect some amount of experience at being self sufficient) and they filter the hundreds down to 10-15 that they screen and pass 4-5 on to me.

We did some spot checks on resumes that were passed on to make sure we were filtering ok and the quality was awful - a significant amount of people were applying for jobs asking for 5 years experience in a Java-like language with no experience, no degree and a half assed cover letter about being a good learner. A decent number were data scientists who had 2 years of python experience, and a surprising number were wildly over-qualified people who I realised after speaking to one or two they were actually trying to sell us their consulting services. That’s before you even get to “are they lying?”
A friend of mine visited Germany and talked to Germans about the threat of nuclear war and what they may or may not be doing. She said there was a very bizarre "it will never happen" vibe wherever she asked. Germans basically laughed at her for taking it as a serious concern worth discussing, even smart Germans with solid academic backgrounds. In the US it is a very different story. Whether a Stanford alumni or a rando at a bar Americans are much less likely to laugh you off for taking the prospect of nuclear war seriously.

So everything you say seems to fit to me.

Less pay in EU means working to afford only the rent, bills, and groceries. One is better off doing nothing professionally and living off their savings. Well, the 2025 is going to be interesting....
It’s not even advice, and it’s not wrong.
Google has put it's early 2000s history where it can't find it! In the garbage most likely, but somewhere deeper.
I've been fascinated by the boom in university CS departments since I was a CS major myself during the low point between 1999-2001 and the start of the current boom. At my alma mater with a total undergrad enrollment between 10-20k, my graduating class of CS majors had just 23 people. The department didn't even have its own building. For a number of years now, CS has been the most popular major there (graduating hundreds per year) and the CS department's newly constructed building is perhaps the most iconic building in the whole city (it's an urban campus). I keep asking myself how long this can really go on.

I have little doubt, by the way, that the booming compensation for software folks in recent years is partially a function of how few people in their mid-30s to early-40s today did CS degrees during undergrad.

For undergrads today, though, I suppose the good question is "what else is there?" (i.e. providing a path to an upper-middle class American lifestyle). Pre-med programs have long been over-enrolled with med school admissions being super competitive. Business and law degrees only matter if they come from the top schools where admissions have long been super competitive. My own kids will start having to figure this out soon, and I don't know what I'll suggest.
Yes. It was called Interrail. You had to have an EU Passport to buy this ticket. And be below 26 years of age. I think it still exits.
IMO the difference between "interviewed" and "hired" here is crucial. I had a similar rule at my previous job. If anything I felt the risk was that this would be abused to the detriment of the URM candidate. If you have a strong candidate coming through but haven't met the URM interview retirement yet, it's tempting to not look for a "real" candidate but just go through the motions with the next candidate who matches the DEI requs. Fortunately, I can say I'd never have to give in to that temptation but the real loser would be the person who got to waste a ton of time and nervous on an interview for which they were set up to haul from the get go.
Yeah I also didn’t get this. Can you explain what you meant?
But this model can be used for more than generating code, no?
Beyond any reasonable doubt any verbal conversation you have in your Toyota is being parsed by one or more LLMs. Anyone who believes otherwise is either room temp IQ or severely autistic.

Oh yes, the common US route of Auckland to NYC. Not having to stop when you make that flight must save a bit of time for 10s if not 100s of people.
The difference is when computer says no, you can show that computer is wrong
I know what you meant to say, but it's important for me to just emphasize that it wasn't the Germans who won that war.
> Who even cares about the details?

This could be the greatest rebuttal to an argument I've ever seen on this site.
Small startup tech-cofounder here so definitely won’t apply to large companies.
Only interviewed candidates sourced through referrals because the risk of a wrong hire is way too high for us. I also noticed a pattern where more senior devs tend to not be as hungry as a a younger dev, and I don’t mean accepting a lower pay, in fact we pay higher salaries for a mid level position. We require (relatively) a lot of customer facing time and product management/discovery activities and may not be everyone cup of tea.

Hey!

Just thought I'd share my new app with y'all to see what you think and maybe for some critical feedback.

It basically schedules the blocking of a contact and it was something I wished I had in my last job when my manager would always call me to talk about work every night.

It's free and only available for Android :)
That's the real question, because younger generations use less and less Open Web.

That was actually one of the main concerns of Larry Page back in the day, that the majority of Web's information might get and be locked behind walled gardens, paywalls or whatever else.
I think when it’s good it’s pretty good.

But knowing when it is good is still hard, as I can’t trust it more than an LLM. But with an LLM I have a simple chat window, not a bag of rabid SVPs fighting to be on the SERP page.
If it were completely illegal to evict, it would be riskier to rent your property out for sure!

I think I like this suggestion more. If that law were passed tomorrow a lot of landlords would want out of the business. Flooding the market with cheap housing seems more likely to reduce homelessness than making it easier to evict tenants.
Because the Youtube Music app is garbage. I already have Youtube premium and tried cancelling my Spotify for a few months, even transferred my saved playlists over, and it was a horrible enough experience that I'm back to paying for both.
Taking a fast train is significantly faster than driving. On short and medium trips they're even competitive with flying, if you factor the time it takes to get to/from the airport and associated lead time associated with airports vs showing within 5-10 minutes of departure right at the city centre.
At a former employer, I sort of hated the referral ambassador or whatever it was called thing (with financial rewards attached I think). I always felt it encouraged quantity over quality. I actually sent a couple people I knew off on their merry way and suggested a couple others just go to the job site. On the other hand, I got several jobs through people I actually knew and had worked with in some manner.
That one is neat, but how do you define addition and multiplication on these structures?
I've used the Caledonian Sleeper a couple of times. The first time it worked reasonably well, I got a reasonable amount of sleep. The second time not so much, not really any fault of the train, I just didn't relax enough to get a reasonable amount of sleep.

Both times I'd say well rested would be a stretch. The first time felt a bit like a magic carpet in that I got somewhere while using up no useful hours but it still wasn't perfect.
Elon Musk doubles down on support for Afd
If I get 500 applications to a role and spend 1 minute writing each person a personalised no sorry, that’s 20% of my week just writing rejection emails (never mind actually reviewing the resume).

I’ve hired for 3 companies for engineers from entry level to staff level, and for non technical candidates for other departments. Applicant tracking systems like greenhouse send me an email for every application that comes through, you get the resume and cover letter attached. There’s a reject candidate button where you choose why, and it auto fills in the template for you with the reason you selected (and the email was pre written).

Don’t mistake an automated email for assuming your resume wasn’t looked at.
The reality is the average person's time to watch TV/unwind is also going to be spent doing chores. This was always the case. When I was a kid, we watched shows that could be followed along by whoever was cooking dinner/doing dishes as well as the people sitting in front of the set. People don't have all that much extra free time.

Movies were an experience because... they were an experience. They weren't constantly on. They were a rare treat, not something consumed nightly.
I think it's more a symbiotic relationship, they feed on each other and both benefit at the expense of the users
Some industries do face shortages in short term skilled labor supply; they might be able to get more people trained up in 5-10 years, with enough investment, but you can’t get a journeyman ready in three months. Others just want more supply, to reduce labor costs and make domestic production cost-competitive with foreign equivalents. Neither of those groups is lying.
Some Turkish TV soap operas have 3 hour long episodes which cost $1 mil each. And are really well acted, with very good drama, humor, etc
But they can never be. RAG gets you somewhere, but it’s still a pile of RNGs under a trenchcoat.
Right, A lot of times I'm searching for a filing. Or a site link. I do not ask questions when I'm doing so, that's ridiculous. I don't ask questions if I'm searching for a recipe, or something in my local area either. Actually, I very rarely do this.

> everyone cried at all the demons when Trump asked Europe to reach 2% of GDP on military spending in 2018.

No, that's not what people had a problem with, and it's barely even what Trump said.

Trump claimed (again) that the less-spending-than-recommended nations somehow owed payments to the US, and threatened that the US would violate the treaty if they somehow didn't keep him satisfied!

That's the stuff that was new and controversial, and for damn good reasons.
Yep, I saw that section. To my interpretation, these average percents are so much smaller than the variation seen, that it's basically /not/ addressing the outlier variations.

Perhaps plots would be better/less alarming than easy-to-cherry-pick tables, but I'm not expert on conveying this sort of data either...
